| [Jerusalem Post] Insurgents killed six members of a government-allied Sunni militia in an ambush northeast of Storied Baghdad on Thursday, police said, offering no respite to a nation still reeling from a spate of attacks on police and soldiers a day earlier that left at least 56 dead. Diyala police front man Maj. Ghalib al-Karkhi said the government-allied fighters, known as Sahwa or Awakening Councils, were driving near the town of Muqdadiyah around 1:30 a.m. when their car hit an IED. The kaboom killed four of the guards immediately, al-Karkhi said. Gunmen then attacked the two survivors, killing them, he said. |
